Actually when I called you I was having trouble with the right flipper. I just cleaned the flipper button switch and EOS switch and it began working fine and has been solid since then. Next day the left flipper stopped working and has been not working ever since (see above)... as far as the missing washer and e-clip i did look in the machine and did not see it so I really have no idea whats going on with those parts. It's very possible they fell off during the move and I just cant see em inside the cabinet.. maybe in a crack or something?
However I got my parts in the mail to rebuild both flippers yesterday so hopefully sometime this week I will have time to get in there and get it all fixed up and I feel confident the machine will be running great then. I have enjoyed this little flipper lesson actually. I feel like I know about 50 times more about pinball machines than I did when I was at your house looking at Flash for the first time!
I mean the machine is over thirty years old so trust me I understand these things are gonna happen.
I didnt want to call you again and bother ya because I know it wasnt your fault and besides it's my baby now I need to figure this stuff out on my own. I just wanted to get some reassurance from experienced people on here while I was going through the repair/troubleshooting flippers process the first time.
Dude that is really generous of you to offer reimbursement for the kits but I will have to respectfully decline the offer. BECAUSE - we made a good deal with good faith on both sides and I'm cool with it man. Honest. The machine is mine now and I have no problem taking on that responsibility.
p.s. I didnt mean to make cracks about your wiring job. I didnt think it was yours since all the work I saw that you did on the Genie was so nicely done LOL. You have gotten alot better since your Flash repair!! ;P
